Bivol is just a better boxer than Canelo. Size didn't play a part in the result

    YES. I don't care how much weight Canelo wants to pile on he's still a small Lt Heavyweight. It's not that complicated.

    Weird how he wasn’t small when he beat Kovalev.

    Cool! I guess you were the minority. ASSOL and shadow were saying he beat the top guy at 175 back then.

    Because Canelo's a badass, he likes taking risks and challenging himself to do things that people say are impossible.

    Again- where is proof Canelo weighed less than Bivol in the fight? It does not matter anyway because size is nothing to lose credit for but what is the evidence on this issue?

    Bivol was 4-1 underdog.

    Hearns did say that Bivol would weigh around 200 lbs on fight night but's that's just hearsay.

    Weight divisions exist in boxing for a reason you'd be a fool to suggest size doesn't matter.

    I believe Bivol weighed more but they both light heavyweight on the weighin & Canelo was expected by most fans to win. ,& they the same ones now who talk about him being the disadvantaged one. It's ok but why not say how he's too small to compete with Bivol before fight not only after he loss.

    Although Canelo did hit Bivol with some good bodyshots that have put down smaller guys

    ...why are we all acting like Bivol's some imposing giant and not an elite super-middleweight competing at light-heavy because until recently he had no time for trash? For God's sake, he's physically smaller than Caleb Plant, who himself is smaller than Callum Smith. Hell, he's only slightly bigger than Billy Joe Saunders, and beating those three ****-heads made everyone crow on and on about being "pound-4-pound #1!!!!"

    If size doesnt play a part... then remove the divisions, dude.
    Stupid threads are stupid.
